Using Art to discover the value of your place and others

This big nest is waiting for you in the garden! It is 4 feet in diameter and 2 feet tall. The nest was made using discarded yard waste from the corner of the community garden. I loved the repetition of going back and forth to the pile to find the next handful of twigs, placing them in the established form and thinking about the gift of life. An assignment called “Left Behind” requires making a series of work that thinks about the space and uses materials that relates to the space.
The nest is a start and I have invited viewers to place an object in the nest, take a photo and email it to me. paige_byrne@corcoran.edu
